Better Care for Crippled Soldiers’ Plea Founder of Citizens* Commit ^ tee, Making Tour of 34 Cities, Arrives in Omaha. A. Fitz Roy Anderson, New York, founder and seeertary of the Citizens’ Committee of America, whose aim is to induce the public to stop in its mad rush and look into treatment of wounded, crippeled soldier boys, was in Omaha Monday. He is making a tour of 34 cities in America. ‘‘I have no criticism to offer of any one individual in handling the affairs of these boys," Anderson said. "The problem is too great, too complex, to be seriously affected by any one single person. ”1 believe in General Hines we have an excellent director of the U. S. Veterans’ bureau. He cannot be held responsible fbr Inherent evils of a system to which he has fallen heir. Huge Expenditure. "Anyone who is the least acquain ted with formation of a governmental department may readily understand what happened when this great bu reau suddenly came into existence with its prqgram of expenditure reaching far into the billions of dol lars. "Organized hurriedly, withoyt suf ficient regard to standards of effi ciency. it is subject to weakness of political and factional influences where able men are considered de structive in sealing up sluice gates of golden graft. As a result we find the good men dropping out, or being forced out. with a sickening regular ity. Names Indifference. "It Is the citizen's indifference, his apathy that is largely responsible. We each of us have a deep personal obligation to see that the job is done, and well done." ^Jobless Attack Berlin City Hall Repulsed by Police Bayonets —Traffic Blocked—Shops Closed.
